The Archives and Special Collections serve as a vital repository for Dominican University's academic legacy, and rich history. We are dedicated to collecting and preserving a variety of materials which includes manuscripts, rare books, fine art, and DU publications highlighting student achievements and institutional successes through the years. The Archives also strives to provide academic support for the activities of those within the University community, and of all of those who work towards promoting the mission of Dominican University. Materials are currently undergoing a continuous digitization process, but certain items in our collection are fully accessible.
